Book an appointment

Death registrations are back to face to face appointments, this means you must attend a death registration appointment in person at the Town Hall. 

You should register the death in the Borough in which the death occurred. Any deaths which occurred in Croydon should be registered at Croydon Register Office.

If you register the death at another register office this will delay you receiving the death certificate. The other register office will send your details to us and you will be able to order certificates online 2 working days later.

Deaths must be registered within 5 days of the event, unless a coroner is conducting an investigation into the circumstances.
